A Travis County assistant district attorney was arrested Saturday morning on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon following an argument with a roommate, according to an arrest affidavit.

Joseph Frederick III, 51, was booked in the Travis County jail at 3:49 a.m. by the Austin Police Department, according to Travis County inmate records.

According to the arrest affidavit, Frederick and his roommate got into an argument Friday after Frederick said his roommate was making “googly eyes” at a guest in their apartment.

An argument escalated and the roommate went into his bedroom, locked his door and packed his belongings, the affidavit said. During this time, the roommate told police Frederick was trying to force the bedroom door open and caused damage to the door.

The roommate told police he opened the bedroom door and saw Frederick pointing a silver revolver at him, according to the affidavit. The roommate left the room, and when he returned he saw Frederick point a gun at his face and say, “I’ll shoot you.”

Police said video taken by the roommate showed Frederick walking around with a gun. Frederick is heard accusing the roommate of pushing him and saying “that the gun is self-defense.”

olice recovered a fully loaded silver revolver from Frederick, the affidavit said.

As of 10 p.m. Saturday, Frederick was still in jail custody. His bail was set at $10,000.

KXAN reached out to the Travis County District Attorney’s Office, and they told us they will be reviewing the information of the case and do not have a comment at this time.

Frederick currently works in the Travis County District Attorney’s Office and received his Texas bar license in 2007, according to the State Bar of Texas.

Many years ago, Christopher Walken tried to warn us about googly eyes. But no one would listen.

It’s not Texas. It’s Austin which is another way of saying it’s San Francisco

“Roommate”

A 51 year old man and his “roommate”?

Um, yeah...that’s not the proper terminology.

Sounds like a lover’s spat to me. Seeing as it’s Travis County I suspect he’s a Democrat too.

Nothing more dangerous than a jealous spat between two knob gobblers.
